Today’s Sports Betting Preview – By Rick Elliott

You can back FULHAM at 8/15 with bet365 to emulate the three teams promoted from the Championship this time last year who avoided an immediate drop out of the Premier League. In fact all the teams who went up a level in the four divisions maintained their status. It’s the League One final playoff today which brings together Rotherham and Shrewsbury.

The latter team won eight points more than their opponents at Wembley today during the regular season. Shrewsbury’s last 11 league fixtures produced 34 goals of which 25 were scored in the second half. The playoff final may be decided after the break and the DRAW/SHREWSBURY double result pays 11/2 with William Hill.

Rafael Nadal has won the French Open on clay 10 times and he must not be opposed in the second Grand Slam tournament of the season which starts in Paris today. In four tournaments over the European clay court season Nadal has lost just one match and he is the number one player in the world. The odds are short but RAFAL NADAL is the bet of the summer at 2/5 with Ladbrokes.

Aidan O’Brien trained horses finished second and third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas behind Romanised who won the race at 25/1. It’s the fillies turn at the Curragh today where the Irish 1,000 Guineas is the highlight and the natural order in Irish Flat racing can be restored. Clemmie for O’Brien has the highest Racing Post Rating but on Newmarket 1,000 Guineas form HAPPILY is the horse to back at 6/4 with Coral.
